A way to add smart list tags through Siri
Is there any way to add actually active tags completely handsfree through Siri? I recently set up some new work flows by filtering my to-do through SmartList categories( admin, follow up, invoice, estimate, deep work, etc). This allows me to focus on one particular category of work at a time and works well. The problem I’m having is that, in order for a particular reminder to land in the appropriate list/s, tags have to be added to the reminder and I, 98% of the time, add my Reminders through Siri. Siri doesn’t seem to be able to add active tags. E.g. “remind me to review the photos and send the estimate to jones hashtag followup hashtag estimate” which creates the reminder: “review the photos and send the estimate to jones #followup #estimate”
But those tags aren’t active. They don’t filter the reminder into a list. They are just text in the reminder itself. In order to create active tags I have to tap on the preview of the reminder to open reminders app then add the tags manually (which at this point can be done by dictating “hashtag followup”)
But since I’m often setting these reminders while driving or while otherwise occupied with my phone in my pocket, this extra step is a workflow killer.
